Pupe’s place in Chinatown is not for everyone ; it can be quite noisy and the stairs are really steep. If that’s ok with you though, it’s a wonderful house, really vast (sleeps 4 easily) and full of character and history. Pupe and her husband run a Spanish bar on the ground floor, but only on weekend nights. There’s a comfortable balcony for fresh air in the evening and coffee in the morning. The bathroom is fine, with a large shower much needed after a sweaty day in Bangkok’s Chinatown. Air conditioning works fine, though with a bit of cross ventilation you won’t need it all night.
Most of all, Pupe was very accommodating and available whenever we needed anything.
The area is very lively, with lots of nice places for coffee or street food, the market alleys of old Chinatown are a must.
